By LOUIS P. LOCHNER i WITH THE WESTERN GER x AN ARMY. Mar 21.-UTV-From hill within one mile of the re- - , tiring allied forces, I witnessed this afternoon the. attacks along : one small sector f General Wal ther Von RIchenau's eighth army it relentlessly drove to com plete the encirclement of perhaps 600,000 British, French ana tsei Man soldiers. i Some German I soures said there may be even 1,000,000 al lied soldiers in this trap against the English channel. The allies, chiefly British, were below me in a valley withdrawing from the Sheldt canal, near Ren aix, 35 miles southwest of Brus sels. , J , Htnnon bodmedJ shrannel rent the air, andrGnman scouters roared overhead directing the ar tillery. Ugly - cBpFds or yenow white or grey linoke indicated when, the deadly 4loads were de posited on the roads upon which allied troops were withdrawing. Inrislble to us, because they were hidden by .trees, were Ger man . infantrymen pushing after the enemy. Where-we stood English artil lery observers had . been only a day before. Thus quickly do the fortunes of war change in this area. We had threaded, our way up with the stench of putrid cada vers of horses and cows in our nostrils, with abandoned tanks, motorized guns and horse-drawn French artillery . scattered ' here1 and there. All day and night battalion aft er battalion of German infantry and artillery had been' pouring - into this section from conquered sections of Belgium and there was many a halt before we could move out again in the midst of vehicles moving in three columns. At noon we had been with" the man who bears the responsibility for this action. General Von Rich enau. - At S o'clock' this morning he ; had moved into new headquarters, this time into a delightful 17th century 'modernized chateau at Enghlen, property of the Duke of Arenberg. Greeting us warmly on the ter race, he observed that until now the German troops had not en countered the main body of the allies. "We are facing the future with utmost confidence," General Von Richenau said. "This is no mere phrase. But we have no illusions. "We have not yet come Into di rect contact with the allied main forces. That's why we do not pro pose to proclaim victory prema turely. "We know we have completely offset plans of our enemies for present operations and we also know we are bound to win in the end." Von Richenau declined firmly to make any prophecy regarding the duration of the war. "I pride myself on never yet having, had to take back any re port I have made to my superior," he said. "That was true of the World war in 1914 and 1918 and I want it to be true also this time. "I report only what I absolute ly know. I hope that after what you yourself have seen you will agree our high command reports are acenrate." Richenau spoke with the great est adoration of Adolph Hitler. "He not only is the nnlitimi leader of the reich; he also in k truth Is the supremest command er of the reich's armed forces," uenerai von Kicnenau said. I talk to him every day. He anows just wnere every army is operating."

The skeleton, unearthed by a highway maintenance crew, was deeply buried in pumice. It was in a sitting position. "If it. should be finally estab lished," he wrote, "that these In dians were killed by the hot pum ice ejected by the eruption of Mount Mazama, . . . we will have more evidence to support that from eastern Oregon showing' that human beings were witnesses of the formation of Crater lake.'
